Hi,
I extracted this from the web:
The Zoom charges are set out at:
https://zoom.us/pricing
How long is a Zoom free meeting?
Zoom's free tier allows two participants to be in a meeting for up to 24
hours. However, for anywhere from three to 100 people, you're limited to 40
minutes. Once that mark has been reached, everyone will be kicked out of the
call. This is probably the most frustrating thing about Zoom, but it acts as
an incentive for people to pay for a subscription.
They start at £11.99/US$14.99 per month or £119.90/US$149.90 per year, with
the cheapest subscription extending the time limit to 24 hours. More
expensive plans remove the limit altogether, and it's worth noting that only
the host needs to subscribe. See the full range here.
How do I get around the Zoom time limit?
1. Open Zoom and sign in if you haven't already
2. From the home screen, click the Schedule icon which looks like a calendar
Zoom 40 minute limit
3. Set the date and time for when you want the meeting to roughly start and
end (to the nearest half hour)
4. Scroll down to the Calendar heading and make sure Other Calendars is
selected before clicking Save
Zoom 40 minute limit
5. All the info about the meeting will appear, including the all-important ID
and joining link
Zoom 40 minute limit
6. Copy this and send it to all your potential participants
Once the call gets close the official 40-minute limit, a countdown clock will
appear in the meeting window. At this point, the host should choose Leave
Meeting (not End for All!). While it might look like the meeting has ended,
if everyone clicks on the original joining link or enters the same ID, a new
40-minute period will start over again.
There's no limit on how many times you can do this, so in theory, you could
spend many hours in one meeting, albeit with breaks every 40 minutes. It's
not a perfect solution, but perhaps enforced regular breaks from work
commitments isn't the worst thing in the world.
Zoom does remove its 40-minute limit from time to time, usually to coincide
with major events. The last time it did this was over Christmas and New Year.
All the best,
